Hi,
I forwarded this story to a few contacts in the Mopar world, with the hopes of getting some more of the big Mopar parts industry involved in helping make this happen. I’d also like to donate an over-sized wiring schematic for the car, please let me know where to send it to.
Thanks for helping to Make-A-Wish!
